Breaking news just now. Appears to be hit in the ear only?

Pumps his fist at the crowd to indicate strength.

Boy, the media sure is being cautious about how they report Trump being shot. CNN’s headline was “Trump injured at rally.”

The Shooter posted a video, but it has been removed. He got the Justice that he thought was “coming.”

This was taken from a Law Enforcement Forum. There was a video of the victims, but not proper to post here.

They convicted Trump of 34 felonies for writing checks to his lawyer as legal expenses and now this. They are ready and willing to kill.

Not the shooter. The pics of him dead on the roof does not match that pic.

A name and photo released of the killer by CNN. He was Thomas Matthew Crooks.

https://nypost.com/2024/07/13/us-news/t ... -pa-rally/
The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.

Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh.

Sources said Crooks was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.

The above article shows his alleged voter registration as “Republican.” I could fake that in 3 minutes on my cellphone, but maybe it’s true? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Records show he made a $15 donation to Progressive Turnout Project, a Chicago-based political action committee that supports Democrat candidates for public office and claims to advocate for "key Democratic constituencies: young people, minorities and low-income people

Democrats register as Republicans to vote against Trump in the primaries. He made donations to Biden. That is his true party affiliation.
